AFDEL, the French Association of Software Publishers and Internet
Solutions, today announced it is continuing its strategic international
expansion with the opening of a new liaison office in Boston. Through
its new presence on the east coast, AFDEL will be able to better provide
support to entrepreneurs establishing new ventures as well as help
existing companies to expand their networks for business advantage and
form deeper connections with customers, partners and prospects.

“Given the continued fast pace of technology innovation and
globalization, this was an ideal time to expand our footprint to ensure
we are best aligned to support the needs of our growing membership
base,” said Jamal Labed, President of AFDEL. “As the technology market
continues to trend towards mobility, cloud, social, and big data, the
opportunity for new and established software companies is huge and we
want to make sure that our existing and future members have the
appropriate resources they need to take advantage of that potential.”

To mark the geographic expansion and launch of its presence in Boston,
AFDEL, with the help and support of Jérôme Malavoy, founder and CEO of
TraceOne, will be hosting a networking cocktail reception on February
21, 2013 from 6 – 8 pm EST. The event will be held at TraceOne’s Boston
headquarters and will feature remarks and insights from Fabien Fieschi,
Consul General of France in Boston, as well as Malavoy and Labed.

“As a current member and a French software company ourselves, we are
delighted to be working in close association with AFDEL to launch a
Boston office to help other French entrepreneurs and executives,” said
Malavoy. “Having recently opened TraceOne’s headquarters in Boston, I
know how valuable it is to have access to the right people and resources
as you get acclimated and look to grow quickly.”

According to an AFDEL survey of 60 Boston-area French Software companies
invited to the launch event, executives expect to add approximately
1,000 new employees in the next 12 to 18 months. For more information or
